President Vladimir Putin said that the questions and complaints of Russians who arrived during the «straight line», for his revolutionary discoveries, but he still learned a lot.

«Yes, I learned something new, and this is natural, because it is direct communication with people, but to tell them so for me there was some revolutionary discovery, so, too, can not say,» the President said in an interview with NTV.

He stressed that continuously deals with such matters. But the format of «straight line» the President considers useful.

«We sometimes see things that require special attention, including from the government and the level of the President, and therefore such activities are carried out as «direct line» to feel the nerve,» he explained.

Meanwhile, Putin noted that many use the opportunity to ask him a question, to convey their concerns, pain or contact with any request. However, the fact that people are trying to directly access the head of state, in his opinion, does not mean that the work is being done. «We just do not see this work, because the appeal only to those who have not yet solved their problems,» — said the President.

«But a huge number of people, they still live, and they get it right, and it provides just the heads of the regional and municipal level. Therefore, I would not say that only all in manual control, manual mode is,» — concluded Putin.

The fifteenth «direct line» with the President took place on 15 June and lasted almost four hours, during which time the head of the state answered more than 70 questions.
